Happy Birthday, Hubby!

I'd just like to give a shout out to my wonderful husband. Yesterday was his birthday! We spent the whole weekend doing birthday stuff with family and then he just happened to have the day off work yesterday. It was great. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful guy in my life. Growing up I always knew what I wanted in my perfect match, but never really thought I'd find him. "He" just seemed to perfect to actually exist. But, lo and behold, the Lord sent me someone who is truly my "perfect match" in every way. There is absolutely nothing missing. Sorry to get so sappy, but what better time to say all this than for his birthday? I love you, Dean, and I always will!

Tyler's ABCs

We were all at my Grandma's house tonight becuase my aunt is in town and she basically just came to see my mom's grandkids. Tyler and my neice Emma always entertain us at family functions, so after singing every song they could think of (at least three times), Emma started playing elsewhere and Tyler kept singing. Much to my surprise, this is what his version of the ABCs was like:
"A B C D E F G, H I J K, gotta-go pee, Q R S, T U V, W X, Y and Z, next time sing with me!"
We were all laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes! I didn't even know he knew that much of it on his own, and then he threw that in there! He is such a character.....

"Baby House"

So, I forgot to mention.... if you ask Tyler what's in mommy's belly, he says baby. Then he points at me and says mommy baby house. So, I guess he thinks I'm the baby's house. Hilarious, right?

Big News......!

Well, I was going to wait longer to say anything, and I don't even know how many people actually read this, but.... I'm pregnant! That's right! We're expecting #2 in mid December! I'm so excited! I know it's really early still (I'm only 6 1/2 weeks) but I'm already starting to grow out of my pants. Dean and I are pobably the only ones who can tell, but I already have a little baby bump. Ridiculous, right? People keep telling me you show a lot sooner with your second... I guess it's true. I figure we'll find out if it's a girl or boy the end of July or so. I'll try to keep updating this for those of you who actually read it. Keep us in your prayers!

Here's a little flashback for ya.... I figure I'll look like this again around October..... or at this rate a lot bigger....

He's Potty Trained!

I know people always say that boys are harder to potty train than girls, but Tyler was a lot easier than I thought. He has been #2-ing on the potty since last Sept. That's right, almost 8 months ago. He's been in pullups ever since, so I decided about a month ago to try the #1 issue... and it was a little rough but he's doing pretty good! He has tiny accidents every once in a while, but catches himself and runs into the bathroom. I think I've only had to clean up the floor twice, so it's usually not bad. I'm so proud of him! I can't believe how fast he's growing!
